NBA Trash Talk: Volume VIII

Hi, all. Let’s skip the small talk and get right to looking at a few of your responses to last edition’s question. Needless to say, the responses were eclectic, if that’s not a euphemism. Here’s the question, exactly as it appeared:

“In particular, I’d like to hear about your feelings concerning three players: Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Shaquille O’Neal. All I’m interested in here is whether you like them or not, and why. In fact, to make things a little more scientific, you can vote on a scale of one to ten, with zero showing no love at all and ten indicating that you like them like Iverson likes tattoos.”
